    likewise dont take offence if someone tells you assume less and rather make a contribution, I thought that it did have relevance.... obviously you feel it didn't I can live with that. I think the concept of conflation was key to strongly held points of view as I said on both sides of the discussion on this topic of "the inflammatory Language used in the debate on migrants"

    your process may be to cut and paste , mine to write something as I understood it then went back and edited it , so perhaps it is less coherent than meat and two veg, as you say more akin to a salad. Please dont make assumptions about my methodology you have no idea of my process so please dont assume you do you seem to be a pretty opinionated member caught up in your own clarity on so many things . If you wish to shut down a conversation then perhaps you should just elect to do that by contacting the administrator, but for me the point of entering this "domain " to to add to a conversation piece . Apart from the aspects of collecting I find interest in these discussions outside numismatics are sometimes enjoyable to read but have little interest in many topics. In most conversations there will always be a degree to which the topic meanders apologies if that bothers you. I suppose I read too much Plato at school

    I am a little bewildered as to why anyone would want to risk their lives to come to the UK at all to be honest. It is not as if our quality of life screams across the world most of the systems and institutions are broken and are less and less likely to offer much to any immigrant......but perhaps stories of British "greatness" last longer than the reality. I have lived in many countries around the world where the sense of contentment seems a lot higher than many of the people I live close to in the north east of England

    Conflation in terms of rhetoric is usually perceived with a somewhat negative trait usually a person's belief or conviction merged in an idea to attempt to strengthen its meaning. A belief structure in the idea is usually held strongly in favour of one particular point of view over another and yes all sides on a spectrum of ideas conflate one sides view over another. It is, as you say not wrong from one side but less right from the other sides perspective, it is never easy to assume what is meant by someone, you have decided wrongly for example that my statement is critical whereas my expectation of the sentence was simply to state that conflation exists for both sides. It is afterall a pretty new word .

    Do you not think that when claims are more the idea of the early days of the rise of fascism in Germany rather than seeking exact words? The ideology rather than specific statements. Historical end points dictating the missing specifics. But I am sure a scholar of the politics could state references of the kind you are seeking there had been an interesting drama on radio 4 in the last few weeks on the rise of the Nazi party perhaps he had been listening to that and took the reference from the drama which may or may not have been based on hard evidence.

    I am not that sure that conflation is a aspect of rhetoric that can be predominantly in the lap of the left!

    I suppose we should talk a little about the distribution method other than the boxes. Rogers makes reference to a supplier , whether wholesale or to the public ? presumably someone must have been charged with selling distributing them and more importantly marketing them. I have found as I mentioned small bags with 50 or so coins of the same denomination both in this country and in the US. Of course we cannot know how they arrived in those places . But one unusual find was 56 of a previously unknown baby head 25 pesetas which was never inside any sets I have found of the Spanish type I am very much hoping that the German expert G Ashoff may know some more about the spanish sets. I kept about 8 but sold the rest to raise funds for MADaboutART ...seemed silly to keep so many

    still the Rugby was pretty good

    yes it would seem quite the best way forward.

    The Coin Act of 1696 and Later in 1741 made it treason to have the machinery for coining a worst way to die I am sure than the felony of exchanging false coin knowingly 6 months imprisonment you could do this twice then get a longer sentence and if you kept going you would be hung. The Jails must have been packed full. This copper tin blank shows the core of the shilling was made then silvered a tiny fragment remains its weight=s 3.6 gms . It is in the colonies where the greatest number of copies of William third small coppers results in a lot of the circulating coin in the Americas are counterfeit.

    Sometimes I think the copies of the period leading up to the the great re-coining are more rare than the the real thing I have only William III shillings and once I have a William III half crown but similar in Charles II also exist and I am hope some of you will list yours if you have them. For me they make me feel close to Newton who when appointed Master of the Mint set out to reduce the counterfeiting of coins. These early milled coins were supposed to have prevented it by having a turned edge which was reeded to prevent clipping. But I sure the method was rapidly learnt and copies like these were traded. To be honest they just sound WRONG...they have a typical thud of lead rather than that clink of silver . On one the edge is badly reeded the other clonker is nicely done
  19. DrLarry
    yes that would suffice a good replacement

    OK well how about the The best ladies detective agency ....

    Would it not just be better not to show football at all. Surely that costs millions in TV rights. They could just show miss Marple all afternoon
  22. DrLarry
    Well I think it's good value for money. No I'm not really that well off but I don't need a lot of money to live on. But I don't think I spend more than £300 per month living expenses and I think it's about £12 a month. Does that make my statement less or more valid ?

    I don't really know the man other than he eats crisps.... but I think he has the right on his private twitting account to make his personal views known and his view of the home secretaries language seems about accurate , the language used is inflammatory but it does as is expected and In Flames A Tory.... so if that stokes them up they cannot have much confidence in their own fires. Oh and I personally am quite happy to carry on paying such a small amount each year for a TV licence
